For Easier Scrambled Eggs, Buy These Bowls

The enormous cooking community on Food52 was tired of cheap, poorly designed mixing bowls. So they made their own.

The new FiveTwo stoneware mixing bowls are the result of a site survey that reached 34,500 people, with everything from the material its made of to the pour spouts dictated by community responses. The set of three bowls come in 1-quart, 2-quart and 4-quart sizes, and it is designed with a wider, lower-lying profile than typical metal mixing bowls. But the best part is simpler: the inside is a typical rounded mixing bowl shape, but the outside has a hard angle and flat base. This means you can mix like usual but the bowl will stay put.

Launched late last year with a clever wooden cutting board, FiveTwo is Food52’s in-house cooking gear line. The mixing bowls join the cutting board, wooden spoons, aprons and many more crowdsourced designs.
